Mental Health Resources & Clinic Workshops
At Integra Skills Counselling, we are always looking for new ways to offer support to our community. This may be with resources for those who cannot afford traditional therapy, it also is with workshops for folks who are looking for more temporary support, or tools to learn and grow. This workshop is open to any couple who are looking to improve their communication and deepen the connection with their significant other.
